f TED STATES PATENT OEEIOE.

GEORGE H. LENHER, OE ELIZABETH, NEW JERsEY.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 116,331, dated June 27, 1871. f

erence being had to the accompanying` drawing forming part Of this specification.

My invention consists Of an improvement in sewing-machines, Which will first be described in connection With all that is necessary tO a full under-standing1 thereof, and then fully pointed out in the clail Figure l is a side elevation, partly sectioned,

of a machine having lny improvementsappiied.

Fig. 2 is a transverse section on the line .fr Of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a faceview Of the shuttle. Fig. 4 is a side'viewr of the'bobbin, and Fig. 5 is a section of the shuttle and bobbin taken on the line y y Of Fi g. 3.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A is the shuttle B, the bobbin; C, the recessed block Or plate in which the shuttle is arranged at one side of the axis; and D is the shuttle-carrier; all of Which are constructed as described in my patent No'. 60,021, dated November 27, 1866, except the devices for attaching the bobbin to the shuttle, which I now propose to do by apliilying a screw-threaded stud-pin, E, fixedly to the bottom of the recess in the shuttle in which the bobbin is carried; and I apply the nut F to the eye in the bohbin, as shown, so that it will turn freely but cannot escape therefrom, by which the dropping and loosening Of the nut, which are so liable in consequence of the difficulty of handlin g and iindin such smal] articles, are avoided.

Having,` thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure byLetters Patent- The shuttle with iixed stud-screw E, and bobbin with nut F, combined, as and for the purpose specified.
